Suvendu Adhikari was sworn in as the Chief Minister of West Bengal on Saturday at 11 am in a grand ceremony held at Kolkata’s iconic Brigade Parade Ground. The oath-taking marks a major political turning point in the state, as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has formed its government after a decisive victory in the recently concluded assembly elections. The BJP secured 207 seats, ending the long-standing dominance of regional political forces in West Bengal and setting the stage for a new political chapter.
